I'm guessing whomever bought the other one will likely spend a few bucks for the set.

I hope Rolex purchases this back.

I've always imagined it was Rolex that purchased the original one - center piece for their museum one day.

I would think that every model that Rolex have issued in the past, they would have kept at least one for their own museum.

Nothing sends the message 'buy our watches, they stand the test of time and go up in value' like a watch company buying them for an outrageous premium and tucking them away out of sight.

There's only ONE that's THE Paul New Daytona

garyk · 30 October 2020, 04:19 AM

I guess this means this person bought at auction on behalf of Rolex?!

"Nathalie Monbaron
Which is why, in New York on October 26, 2017, when (ex) Phillips Geneva representative Dr Nathalie Monbaron bid $15.5 million (US$17.8 million with auction fees) for the Rolex Daytona 'Paul Newman' given to Paul Newman by his wife Joanne Woodward, I knew, with some decree of confidence, Rolex had bought it."

ricardo-sf · 30 October 2020, 04:21 AM

I love the story of Paul Newman's watches ..

2nastie · 30 October 2020, 04:26 AM

It's like the knew they needed to put more attention on the Daytona again... cue another price spike on all Daytonas soon!

That would be my guess - time will tell

I was at the sale and the energy in the room was incredible. I plan to be at this coming sale is possible as well.

AlanH · 30 October 2020, 07:18 AM

Wonder if my AD could get me a good deal...?

stylinleems · 30 October 2020, 07:32 AM

Looks like there is a 16520 white dial and 116519 WG Black dial Daytona still in the family as well.
